HARTFORD, Conn. (Business Wire) -- Aetna (NYSE: AET)
announced it has appointed Jeff Brown as the head of Aetna Voluntary
Plans. Brown is responsible for product strategy, pricing and
positioning, and overall operations for the business line. Voluntary
plans provide supplemental benefits, such as critical
illness or accident plans, that can be paid for through payroll
deductions. These plans give consumers more flexibility to choose the
coverage that meets their unique needs.
“Aetna's voluntary plans – such as critical illness, accident and
hospital indemnity plans – naturally complement Aetna's core medical
offerings and help consumers and employers balance cost and coverage
needs,” said Brown. “I am very excited to have the opportunity to join
the voluntary team. In addition to enhancing our consumer-directed
health care offerings, the Aetna voluntary business also offers
solutions for the growing part-time employee market.”
Brown joins Aetna from Colonial Life, where he served as Chief Marketing
Officer and led the company in strategy, planning, product development,
and other initiatives. He holds a bachelor's degree from The University
of Alabama and an MBA from Cornell University.
“We are excited to have Jeff join our team and lead our growth
strategy,” said Karen S. Rohan, executive vice president and head of
Local and Regional Businesses. “The voluntary benefits marketplace is
expanding rapidly and Aetna is uniquely positioned to offer employers
benefit solutions that help protect their employees' physical and
financial well-being.”
